Our estimatable friend Theodore Ben

three days of July during which time
there fell six inches. The heaviest rain
of one day occurred on the 18th August,
when we had two inches.
The days when it rained over one
inch were,

There was an Englishman on
board, the younger son of a lord,
who may be said to represent a
type of husband much sought after
in certain limited circles in tho Uni-
ted States. This Englishmah mar
ried, several years ago, the daugh-
ter ofa wealthy Boston gentleman.
He spends three months every year
in Boston with his wife and the 9th.
er nine months in England alone.
He has never taken his wife over
with him to his own home. He
was asked by friend on this trip
why he did not bring his wife.
"Oh," said he, "she is kept at home
by a baby, l believe, or something
like that"

lFOr the Asheville {, CITIZEN

Messrs. Editors IL wish to endorse a
name presented through your most
estinlable paper, for Mayor, that of Mr..
A. T. Summey. He possesses the entire
confidence of every business man in
Asheville. He is the friend ofthe labor
ing man (regardless of race, color. or
previous condition.) He can control
more colored votes than an man in our
city fitted for the place. No man can
doubt Mr.. Summey's ability honesty,
or his unprejrdiced conservatism Let
us unite on the above gentleman for
Mayor and the old Board of Aldermen

The Waynesville NeDs saws: "a

crowd was out on the mountains
not long since, among whom was a
Buncombe man. They accidentally
struggled on scared wolf which
was running as scared wolf will
when the Buncombe man exclaimed:
4 guess he is going to Asheville. F"
: Yes, it must have been as stated
by the Buncombe man all the
world and the flesh seem to be
coming to Asheville, the "old boy"
always takes another direction.
A large number of our citizens
met Messrs. Bowen and Cothran of
the Charleston, Cumberland Gap,
and Chicago Railroad Company,
yesterday. These gentlemen are
very sanguine Of the early compile
tion of this road from Aiken, S. c.,
to Asheville, and On to the North.
A splendid line, of most practicable
grade, has been secured across the
mountains through Estatoe Gap,
and thence on down the French
Broad to AsheviIle. May she come
on and that rapidly.

A SERIOUS HURT.

A SERIOUS HURT.
A young man from the country
named Henry Rogers, had
serious fall Yesterday after
noon, He was leaning against a
slight rail which guards the sides
walk at Chedister's new basement
on Patton Avenue. He was lean
ing with his back to the excavation
when the rail broke and he fell Il
distance of aboutten teet. Hestruck
an empty box in his fall contusin :
his right hip, and receiving a very
severe severe scalp wound, the COM
bined effects of which are serious.
He was at once taken to the Weste n
Hotel, and received the beet SUR il
cal aid. We presume that his con-
dition involves no dangerous re-
suits.

Old Shoes Rcnlndc.

1t may be a surprise to some people
to learn that the old shoes cast into the
ash barrel are liable to rcappcar in tho
boudoir and parlor. A. New York re-
porter who saw u couple Of rag pckers
quarrciling oyera lot OF worn-out and
seemingly worthless footgear inter-
viewed one Of the chiffonniers, and
found that they sold thcm to the manu-
factlrcrs OF wall paper. He followed
up the Glow, and on questioning the
foreman, Of one Of these establishments,
elected the following bits Of infor-
nation.
we buy" said tho foreman, Gall
the boots and shoes Tho scavcngcrs
can bring us. We pay different prices
for different qualities Of leather. A
pair Of line calfskin boots will bring as
high as ) cents. We don't buy cowhide
boots. Tho boots and shoes are
first soaked in several waters to get tho
dirt off them. Then the nails and
threads are removed, the leather ground
up into fine pulp, and is ready for use.
1.-The embossed leather paperings
which have come into fashion lately,
and stamped leather fire screens, arc
really nothing but thick paper covered,
witha layer Of this pressed leather pulp.
The finer the leather the better it takes
the bronze and old gold and other cx-
pensivc colors in the designs painted on
them. Fashionable people think they
are going away back to the medieval
times when they have tho walls Of their
libraries and dining rooms covered with
this embossed leather; they don't know
that tho shoes and boots which thor
ncighbors threw into the ash barrel u
month before form tho beautiful nlatori-
al on their walls and on the screens
which protect their eyos from tho fire.
"We could buy tla old shoes cheaper
If it wero not for the competition from
carriage houses and book binders and
picture frame makers. I don't kno ow
how many other trades uSo old shoes
and boots, but the tops Of carriages arc
largely made Of them, ground UP and
pressed into sheets. Dookbindcrs uso
them in making the cheaper forms Of
leather binding, and the new style Of
leather frames with leather mats in them
arc entirely made Of the cast off covering
